“…Among them, the lower Yangtze River region had the highest degree of digital finance development relative to other regions, allowing cities to receive more abundant and efficient financial support in the process of low-carbon economic development, thus promoting clean technology research and development and improving the energy consumption structure to achieve a high level of CCD development. The cities in the upstream region are mostly inland cities, where access to resources such as labor, technology, and capital is difficult, and production and operation are mostly based on crude industrial production, making it difficult for the urban economy and urban environment to develop in a coordinated manner [76]. Meanwhile, the growth of digital finance in the region is comparatively lagging, with insufficient financing support, making it hard for the two to accomplish coordinated evolution, and therefore the CCD level in the region was the lowest.…”

China is a large country with rapid economic expansion and high energy consumption, which implies that the country’s overall carbon emissions are enormous. It is vital to increase urban low-carbon economy efficiency (ULEE) to achieve sustainable development of China’s urban economy. Digital finance is a significant tool to boost ULEE by providing a convenient and effective funding channel for urban low-carbon economic transformation. Analyzing the coupled and coordinated relationship between ULEE and digital finance is of vital importance for the sustainable development of the urban economy. This paper selects panel data of 100 cities in China’s Yangtze River Economic Belt (YEB) in 2011-2019, and analyzes the research methods such as the Global Malmquist-Luenberger index model, coupling coordination degree (CCD) model, standard deviation ellipse model, gray model, and geographic detector by The spatial and temporal distribution, dynamic evolution characteristics and influencing factors of the CCD between ULEE and digital finance are analyzed. The study shows that: (1) the CCD of ULEE and digital finance grows by 3.42% annually, reflecting the increasingly coordinated development of the two systems; (2) The CCD of ULEE and digital finance shows a distribution pattern of gradient increase from the upstream region of Yangtze River to the downstream region, meanwhile, the spatial center of gravity moves mainly in the midstream region; (3) The spatial center of gravity of CCD of ULEE and digital finance is expected to move 22.17 km to the southwest from 2019 to 2040; (4) In terms of influencing factors, the influence of informatization and industrial structure on the CCD increases over time, while the influence of factors such as population development, greening, transportation, and scientific research decreases over time. Finally, this paper proposes policy recommendations for improving the CCD of ULEE and digital finance based on the empirical results.

“…Despite progress in coupling and coordination across the board, roughly half of the cities on the Shandong Peninsula remain in transitional or uneven growth phases. is regional growth disparity can be observed using the fundamental geographic pattern, which demonstrates that coastal cities have significantly higher coupling and coordination than inland cities [15]. Excessive resource use and pollution, which are primarily brought on by increased urban development, are also contributing to an increase in environmental stress.…”

Accelerating economic development necessitates the rapid consumption of more ecological environmental resources. Excessive consumption of ecological environmental resources will seriously damage the overall coordination between the ecological environment and the local economy. We examine the objective issues of regional economic development and environmental protection in the three eastern provinces. Local governments should prioritize the degree of interdependence between regional economic development and the ecological environment. A healthy development strategy includes managing and improving the regional environment while also ensuring the orderly and stable development of the local economy. e grey correlation analysis model is based on the coupling relationship analysis and uses the underdeveloped Northeast Economic Zone as the study goal. So, this study proposes that the regional economic circle of three northeastern provinces be the main topic of a quantitative analysis of the coupling relationship and in uencing factors of the coordinated development of the ecological environment and regional economy from 2013 to 2020. Inferred from the perspective of spatial coupling relationships is the calculation of the coupling degree model based on the grey correlation degree. Speci cally, Harbin (0.661), Changchun (0.650), Jixi (0.615), and Liaoyuan (0.629) fall into the antagonistic type and low-level coupling type categories. e degree of coupling between Northeast China's economic development and the natural environment signi cantly decreased from 2015 to 2018 from the perspective of the time series coupling relationship. e changing trend of coupling degree makes it abundantly clear that the problems with the ecological environment's constraints in the underdeveloped areas of the three northeastern provinces have not been fundamentally resolved. If no action is taken rapidly, the ecological environment will continue to deteriorate because environmental problems do not improve signi cantly in a short time.

“…However, the limitations of traditional methods are that they cannot reflect the pixel-level spatial information and the results are extremely uncertain. Furthermore, most research has taken multi study units such as cities, provinces, urban agglomerations and basins, focusing on the horizontal comparison between regions [24][25][26][27]. However, few studies pay attention to the dynamic changes in human-environmental relationships within cities.…”

Urban–rural land transition and the coordination of coupled human–environmental systems are two important issues in the process of global urban–rural development. Although existing studies have explored the coupling coordination degree (CCD) of human–environmental interactions under the context of urbanization, few studies have taken land transitions into consideration. In this study, we investigated the dynamics of CCD in China from 2001 to 2018 using multisource remote sensing data and quantified the CCD changes in land transitions among urban construction land (UCL), rural residential land (RRL), and non-construction land (NCL). The CCD alterations mainly occurred in the decline in NCL stock, the increase in UCL stock, and especially the losses during RRL to NCL transfers. We urge academics and government decision-makers to pay more attention to the CCD transfers and losses during urban–rural transitions. This study provides scientific guidance for the development of urban–rural integration and is expected to assist the coordinated evaluation of human–environmental interactions in the process of sustainable development.
